Jamie Auslander co-chairs Beveridge & Diamond’s Natural Resources and Project Development Practice Group, including its Energy practice. Mr. Auslander focuses his practice on complex legal issues surrounding development of oil and gas, hardrock minerals, renewable energy, and other natural resources on public lands onshore and on the Outer Continental Shelf. He frequently works with the Department of the Interior agencies and prosecutes appeals before the Interior Board of Land Appeals regarding royalty, suspension, decommissioning, regulatory departures, and other issues.
